Steve Burdo is the lead advocacy consultant for the Center for Judicial Excellence. “Women are just not being believed or listened to in family court, where the majority of these cases are being tried,” he says. “Oftentimes, they are being blamed and punished. Only in family court do we see a situation where the victim is the person who has to present the case against the abuser. If it’s in criminal court, it would be a DA or a prosecutor who would present the case for the victim, but if a woman is the victim of domestic violence, and can’t afford an attorney, then she has to go into court and present that case, and it’s extremely intimidating facing your abuser in the first place, but being able to go about the more technical or litigious aspects of presenting a case. In our criminal courts, we will make sure that our most heinous murderers have adequate legal representation. However, a mother who’s trying to protect herself or her child and can’t afford an attorney in family court, she’s thrown to the courts like a lamb to the slaughter.”

“How do we change that?” Dr. Phil asks.

“We need to completely rethink the way we handle domestic violence cases, and that means having all the right people involved, not just the legislators, not just the courts,” Steve says. “You need a domestic violence community, you need domestic violence victims at that table, talking about how to change the way we handle these cases, and it’s something that’s just not happening right now.”

“It doesn’t seem to me, from my involvement in this, that we have all the entities communicating,” Dr. Phil says. “If CPS is involved, a criminal court may not know that. If there’s a custody battle, CPS may assume that the family court is looking at this, so they’re not going to start an investigation, because they think it would be redundant, when in fact they might have resources that the family court doesn’t have, particularly with our budget cuts. Why do we not have family court, criminal court people talking to each other?”

“With the hundreds of calls we get each month at the Center for Judicial Excellence, our experience is that we see it’s more of an issue of CPS not communicating with the family courts,” Steve says.

“When CPS is investigating allegations of abuse, and they see that there’s a custody dispute also, they will just close the case as inconclusive. It’ll then go to the family courts. The family courts will look at it and go, ‘Oh, this was closed as inconclusive. There’s no abuse,’ and they’ll just take that as a final verdict.”

Civil and family attorney Areva Martin and the National Network to End Domestic Violence have child custody precautions every mother needs to know before leaving an abusive relationship. See their tips here!

Ahhh the poor poor widdle Jill Dykes was a scaredy cat. She thinks that there are many angry bloggers out there ready to attack her? I mean seriously why else did she leave court today after stabbing Claudine through the heart and not allowing Rikki to come home to her mom. How many moms out there have said no you cannot call your dad or no you cannot go visit him and NOT been threatened with Jail? I know LT was not only threatened with it but she was thrown in jail. Danielle Malmquist has also been thrown in jail.

Oh!!!!! I had a serious brain fart!!!! The pisshead JD was scared of little ol' Claudine? Nah you can't be serious Petunia. What could Claudine do even if she wanted to? Halleck Richardson has made damn sure she will never be able to work another day in her life, he has hired men to rape her, has hired women to beat her, and now he continues his abuse of her by now allowing a mother and daughter to have contact. He also has the criminal conviction record to prove all of this. And let's not forget Don Hoffman and his snot nosed son Jason P. Hoffman. Hell has a special place for these two when they go.

And the winner of the day goes to the very UN esteemed Judge David Debenham. He is the one who yet again would not hold Daddy dearest responsible and allow Claudine and Rikki to reconnect as mother and daughter. And the pisser in all of this? He took Claudine's cell phone away from her. I guess the DYKES bitch thought Claudine would call all of her big bad ass blogger friends. Guess what DYKES? The Internet is more powerful than you, whinehead Hoffman, snot nosed brat Hoffman and woman-beater, wife raping child stealing Halleck Richardson and all the GAL's who want to side with widdle ol' scaredy cat Jill Dykes (Yes you Renee). We will prevail. You cannot keep this mother and daughter apart forever. Rikki will be 18 one day and then your little circus will go up in flames. But we shall continue to hope it does not take that long.

Wicked Witch Of Topeka Kansas—Shawnee County Courthouse get 1K each month for the pre 18 age of EVERY child she gets appointed too--- it is of course OVERTIME if she actually has to go to court to defend her right to be on case—such as keeping a battered mother away from her daughter—and leaving that child with Abuser Halleck George Richardson… Hal Richardson Wife Beater Topeka Kansas

HIS WIFE (m. Jill DYKES ‘told him what happened’. hence the phone call) He lies 5 x’s I counted about every answer and statement. KARMA comes in many ways—not judicial. beware of falling houses.

Court Appointed Child Abuser - M. JILL DYKES and her cronies can legally harass, threaten and have her HUSBAND CHRISTOPHER DYKES call a private number of a Battered Mother of the child who Mary JILL Dougan DYKES allows to be with a KNOWN, admitted and convicted ABUSER - HAL RICHARDSON, as they all get away with fucking and legally trafficking kids.

I can't even call the hearing held on October 19, 2010 a showdown. It was just a sham. Let's do a little review. Claudine is a battered mother who lost custody of her only daughter in an ex parte hearing in 2004. (Ex parte means the mother wasn't even represented at the hearing.) Since then, she has had very little visitation. The hearing in January 2010 (see post above) was supposed to fix that. And finally, Claudine was awarded two hours of unsupervised visitation on Sunday and telephone contact twice a week. We figured it was a start.

IF ONLY CLAUDINE DOMBROWSKI AND HER PRECIOUS CHILD COULD CLICK THEIR HEELS AND GET THE HELL OUTTA KANSUCKS!

A Kansas Judge consistently has shown how unethical Family Courts are. The story is simple, a mother, Claudine Dombrowski, loses custody to her abuser and the Family Court think that she will go away. They hope she will give up. They are counting on her shutting up. But there is a problem with that, this woman has friends. She has lots and lots of friends that have gone through the same corruption of Family Courts and unethical Judges, Court Whores and the like. This Judge has gone as far as not allowing this mothers child from attending her loving Grandmothers funeral. This Judge wants to make problems because of a tribute video?

She also gracefully articulates the many reasons that the theory, as currently used as "scientific evidence" in family courts across the country, is pernicious. In a March cover story, SF Weekly described how PAS -- and its virtually identical variant, "Parental Alienation" or PA -- can be used by abusive fathers to win custody of children from protective mothers.

The theory of Parental Alienation, a term coined by the late pedophilia apologist Richard Gardner, posits that mothers maliciously brainwash their children to hold delusions of sexual abuse at the hands of an estranged father. As described by its adherents, PAS is probably the only supposed psychiatric condition that arises solely in the context of divorce proceedings, one of many reasons that reputable scientific and medical organizations such as the American Medical Association don't recognize it.

As Lithwick puts it:

... no hypothesis so rooted in gender bias should be credited by medical science. And because evidence of PAS is so frequently offered to counter maternal allegations of abuse, the experts testifying about PAS can be aiding and abetting a system that takes children from abused mothers and hands them right back to abusive fathers. Once again, this doesn't mean that some parents don't alienate their children in a divorce. It means that PAS is now used to discredit women whenever they claim abuse.

Of course, despite its tenuous scientific credentials, PAS has become the dominant psychological paradigm of the family-court system. The word "syndrome" is often deliberately omitted so that litigants arguing that the condition exists can avoid the unsavory connotations of the theory's origins, and most particularly its founder, Gardner, who argued that "pedophilia has been considered the norm by the vast majority of individuals in the history of the world." Lithwick's conclusion: "While nobody was looking, a mythical legal argument known as parental alienation may have already taken over family courts."

AMPP is a social movement. seeking justice and accountability within the family court system which includes DHHS/CPS, psychologists and other so called experts.

We as mothers demand CITIZENSHIP and our Rights to our Children. We demand that our children not be used as pawns by our abuser in a custody dispute. We demand that Mothers and Children be equally protected against court ordered visitation with an abuser. We demand that Mothers and Children be given the same rights, privileges and voice that the abuser gets in family courts!

We demand that our President take action now as can no longer afford to be silent and we won't. We demand the same "rights and freedoms" to which all humans are entitled. Behind the closed doors of the dirty little secret of the family court system, thousands of women each year lose child custody to violent men who beat and abuse Mothers and Children. Family courts are not family-friendly and betray the best interests of the child. Until Mothers and Childrens voices are heard we will never shut up, give up or go away!

Women tired of being ignored by our President are banding together to bring awareness to the fully funded genocide that is currently raging through America. Pres. Obama has allocated $500 Million in Responsible Fatherhood Initiatives which help abusers gain access and/or custody to children. In 2010. 175 abusive fathers killed their children http://dastardlydads.blogspot.com/2011/02/175-killer-dads-fathers-who-ended-t... fathers who ended their children's lives in situations involving child custody, visitation, and/or child support (USA)

We are not going to give up, shut up or go away...we are going to get LOUDER! Disclaimer: I voted for Barack Obama and had every faith in him, We have tirelessly attempted to bring awareness to him about the issues with women in family court and domestic violence. This video intent is to enlighten others on the subject that we women will not get fooled again. We demand that our president stop ignoring our pleas and take action as we can no longer afford to be silent and we won't. The politicians that are currently waging a war on women we have taken notice of and will not be fooled again.

Faster than a flying monkey the witch flew off the broom handle yesterday in a Kansas courtroom…yes we are talking about Jill M. Dykes!

After a hearing was adjourned in regards to the DIS-honorable Judge David Debenham personally took off the docket of Judge Schmidt. The same Judge who originally started the death of Claudine Dombrowksi’s relationship and being a MOTHER to HER child!

The beat went on at the hearing of course and in usual Debenham fashion he refused to enter any evidence of collusion and conflict by this Mother. Today Debenham is set to determine solely based on his interview with the daughter IF he will followed the applied laws and statutes of the land of OZ. That still remains to be seen….

But if the usual corruption, cronyism and collusion doesnt confound people by now this will. After the hearing was adjourned GAL Jill M. Dykes Court Whore couldnt help herself to see what evidence Claudine had. She viewed and cranked her neck over the shoulder to gain sight of the facebook screen shots of Dykes facebook. She shrieked and squealed as if someone had murdered her. She saw that her child was in one of the screenshots of Dykes public facebook profile. Pictures SHE put on the internet for ALL to see…not just Claudine. She ran to cry to the judge that OH MY GOD someone had found her public facebook account and took proof of the corruption. Just as THEY have been doing to Claudine since she started exposing these whores of the court of Kansucks!

Last night at 5:06pm Claudine received a phone call from the GALs husband, Christopher Dykes. Thats right, a professional that is paid with tax dollars put her husband up to phone Ms. Dombrowskis PRIVATE UNLISTED cell phone number. He wanted to know if he had anything to worry about because, someone called me from the courthouse and told me my wife is upset,. Hmmm…first off lets take this slow…since when is this EVER appropriate and secondly Claudines number is private for a reason, because she has been abused and stalked. She is under protection with a program for abuse victims to make sure their abusers/colluders dont have access to their address or phone number. Specifically unwanted contact like the call from the GALs hubby! Claiming he knew nothing of Claudines case, but yet knew enough that his wife was upset regarding the facebook pictures. Just as upset as ANY mother could be when they view their child is in danger. Which the whole big beef that started this shit was the pictures and tribute video that a MOTHER made with HER childs pictures.

The next item of unbelievable corruption Debenham refused to return posters and other items for a DV Rally in Kansas worth over $500! These items were in the galley…along with everyone’s coats and purses that he didn’t take…he said they were HIS. Even after contacting police regarding this theft the judge refuses to return personal property! Is he trying to avoid Claudine from protesting?

That IS a FIRST Amendment Violation! This is not over we are not going to stop blogging!

NOT EVERY BLOG IS OWNED BY CLAUDINE….WE THERE ARE MANY OF US THAT HAVE FOLLOWED THIS OUTRAGE!

We know you are trying to shut her up, make her give up, go away….shes not…and NEITHER ARE WE!

Next we tell you about how she released attorney client confidential information and on a minors case she had her husband Christopher Dykes call and harass Claudine—wtg Jill—you really know how to be professional.

Yes the very same GAL from hell who has erased the Mother out of this little girls life—the Mother Claudine Dombrowski who is not allowed to even have any photos of her daughter and vice versa-- who is constantly being harassed for ANY images of her own child she may possess—….yet this county paid cunt acting as an attorney thinks its all right to post images of Claudine Dombrowski’s daughter on the internet beside the fact that this just aint cool..

Hey M. Jill Dykes--- we heard you screamed all up and down the Courthouse when you thought a picture of your child was some other persons hands.

Did it make you scream did it make you hysterical?? Well, now I guess any mother would be hysterical—just like Claudine is when it comes to her child..

the door swings both ways bitch.. remember that and know that HELL has a special place for you. Your Husband and of course the end of any law degree you hold.

This seems to her be her favorite post—and the most incriminating, can you say ‘caught’? :-) indeed.
